Colt Brennan goes on IR

[hooskins]

lol I still don't see how colt played well this preseason. Terrible mechanics, terrible decisions, cockiness, etc. I can't believe Colt will ever threaten anyone for a starting job. ever.

He is so very lucky to even be on this team.

Well, San Francisco, Detroit, Carolina, Cleveland, Kansas City, Oakland, Denver, and St. Louis are just a few teams I could see him starting either by injury or by him just being better than most of those QB's. Matt Hasselbeck was picked in the draft in the 6th round like Brennan, was fairly average in the preseason, got to a team he had a better chance of starting with a familiar offense, then boom! he became a pro bowler. Now of course I'm not saying Brennan will be the next Matt Hasselbeck, but I am saying that if you give Brennan time to develope, and first stringers around him, he's got a shot to be a pretty damn good 6th round QB.

Perhaps in a couple of years, but he's definitely not ready now to even be a #2 let alone a starter coming back to beat us. That's pretty comical.

Colt Brennan is an extremely talented quarterback. I think that he has remarkable physical ability, and a very high football IQ, with great "instincts." Criticism of him throwing an interception or two in preseason is frankly stupid. It 's all part of the learning process. As Fred Smoot says, he has a Farve quality to him that will make him very successful.

Colt has a dynamism and a leadership ability that you can't teach. He's a born quarterback, and there aren't a lot of those. Winning is about more than just the physical dimension. Colt has a daring that will pay much more dividends than a play it safe quarterback. He is learning to work within the system so that Coach Zorn can trust him not to excessively improvise. He will do that and rise to the top. Eventually, Colt will be a Super Bowl winning quarterback, and I believe it will be with the Redskins.

Not only do I agree, but I also know that Colt has been studying multiple foreign languages, listening to tapes of Ghandi, and meditating with the Dalai Lama. He has been a top advisor to President Obama, and understands that putting it all on the line is worth risking minor setbacks. Eventually, HE shall show us all the way, and truly unite the world under one banner. HE IS PJ5.

Despite his hip injury, today Colt Brennan walked on water after curing lepers with just his smile.

Right. Get real. If he hadn't gotten hurt he may have been a practice squad player. He's got eons to go before he's even a capable back up, let alone starter.

Breaking news out of Redskins Park:

Frustrated at being cut by the Redskins, QB Chase Daniel stuffed all the footballs he could find into his cheeks and darted off the premises, leaving equipment managers scrambling to find some footballs for tomorrow's practice.

First of all, hard to take you seriously when you start with Colt's weakest component. In college, in a WAC conference, and with a run & gun offense, maybe he had "remarkable physical ability". In the pros, he has incredibly average physical ability. Does he have 4.3 speed that I somehow have missed? A cannon arm that he has carefully kept under wraps? What exactly about his physical ability is "remarkable".

As to his intangibles - you call it "dynamism", I call it "arrogance"; you call them "instincts", I call them "bad decisions". He tries to write checks that his body just can't (and will likely never be able to) deliver. This may change in time, but right now he plays with a style that his abilities can't support on a pro level.

Absolutely, QB'ing is more than physical. But you must have the tools to play the game. If he wants to be a gunslinger, he needs to drastically improve his arm strength. Either that, or play like Montana who, not having a gun for an arm, made good decisions with the ball. So far, in two preseason, he has not shown that. In fact, if anything, he seems to have regressed this year.

It's pretty funny the bizarre and/or angry reaction some people have to support for Colt Brennan. Obviously Colt brings up strong feelings.

That ability to bring up strong feelings, to galvanize people, is critical to being a top quarterback. When you are a field general you need to have the ability to inspire people. It can be a double edged sword and you can galvanize people to oppose you too. But it's a sword that you can't become a great quarterback without in my view.

Players will and do feel strongly - in a positive way - about Colt. And it's similar to the way people respond to Brett Farve.

Wow. Just wow. Dude, I do not know what you are drinking but please please make sure you cleanse your system before any mandatory drug testing.

Colt does seem to have a certain field presence. But, unlike Farve, he doesn't have a gun for an arm - well maybe a popgun.

And to be clear, I got no special love or hate for the guy. The thing that "galvanizes" me, is his followers incredible inability to see his limitations and flaws.

Please, PLEASE tell me what his "remarkable physical abilities" are???
